Summary: The committee heard a series of insurance-related bills, with much of the discussion focused on homeowners insurance rates, transparency, and regulatory oversight. House Bill 3696, a proposed rate-approval style measure for homeowners insurance, drew extensive questioning about whether it would actually lower premiums, its comparison to Texas, the role of the Insurance Department and Attorney General, and possible effects on carriers and agents. The author said the bill was intended to increase transparency and consumer protections, acknowledged it was a work in progress, and agreed to strike the title and keep working with the committee. The bill ultimately passed the committee on a recorded vote. The committee also advanced House Bill 3259, which would prohibit certain health care contract clauses such as all-or-nothing, anti-steering, gag, and most-favored-nation provisions; House Bill 4294, a follow-up to Dylan’s Law dealing with epilepsy-related insurance coverage and neurostimulator devices; and House Bill 4488, which would let the Insurance Commissioner appoint an impartial umpire when a body shop and insurer cannot agree on a loss value. House Bill 3646, a broad and still-developing insurance bill involving rate review, litigation, venue, AI use, and Attorney General involvement, generated substantial concern from members about workability, litigation, and agent exposure. Its author said it was not final, but the committee voted it down. Later, the committee passed House Bill 3048, a cleanup measure for surplus lines licensing laws; House Bill 3780, requiring an independent actuary review as a transparency measure; House Bill 3781, changing the timing from use-and-file to file-and-use with a 60-day review period while the author said he did not want rate approval; House Bill 3802, delaying rate adjustments after a spouse’s death until renewal; House Bill 3818, creating a home and auto savings account framework intended to help policyholders raise deductibles and lower premiums; and House Bill 2929, which limits how far back insurers may look at homeowners and auto claims for underwriting purposes. Most of these bills passed with little or no opposition after brief questioning.

Summary: House Finance heard a series of bill briefings and public hearings on tax and revenue measures. HB 2175 would exempt free durable medical equipment providers from retail sales and use tax on certain equipment purchases; the sponsor and a nonprofit provider testified that the bill would help charitable organizations furnish wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, beds, and similar items at no cost to patients, while staff said the Department of Revenue expects a small general fund revenue loss and some administrative costs. HB 2608, a reintroduced version of last year’s HB 1210, would require nuclear facility projects seeking the targeted urban area property tax exemption to meet specified labor standards and allow cities extra time to complete projects; supporters said it would help attract major clean-energy manufacturing and jobs, while opponents from contractor groups, environmental advocates, and others objected to the PLA/labor requirements, the tax preference for nuclear projects, and the potential impact on competition and local taxpayers. The committee also heard HB 2227, which would extend an existing REIT exemption for self-help housing to other nonprofit affordable homeownership programs such as community land trusts; sponsors and housing providers said it would lower closing costs and preserve long-term affordability, and staff said the exemption applies to the nonprofit-to-buyer sale, not later resales. HB 2528 would let counties and cities that voluntarily fully plan under the Growth Management Act impose the second local REIT without voter approval; supporters said it would give all GMA cities the same tools to fund sidewalks, ADA work, and other infrastructure, while opponents argued it would raise homeownership costs and remove voter approval for a tax increase. The committee then heard HB 2292, which would subject gains from qualified small business stock to Washington’s capital gains tax beginning in 2026. Staff said the bill would affect about 260 taxpayers and raise roughly $1.2 million in fiscal year 2027, while the sponsor argued it closes a loophole that mainly benefits wealthy investors and does not affect the standard deduction or other existing exemptions. Testimony split sharply: tax policy advocates supported the bill as a way to make the tax code less regressive, while startup founders, venture and tech industry representatives, and small business groups warned it would discourage investment, hurt founders and early employees, and push innovation activity out of state. Finally, HB 2257 was briefed as a Department of Revenue request bill making technical and administrative tax-code changes, largely to codify guidance tied to last year’s sales-tax-on-services legislation; staff said the changes are intended to clarify definitions, exclusions, sourcing, and related tax treatment, and DOR testified in support, explaining that the bill would give taxpayers statutory certainty for rules the department has already been enforcing administratively.

Summary: The Senate Judiciary Committee met with a quorum and considered a long series of bills, mostly on criminal justice, elections, civil procedure, and higher education liability. Early measures included SB 1450, allowing judges to waive certain fines and fees for people who have completed probation or incarceration, with an amendment requiring a request and a judicial order; SB 1458, repealing a statute that allowed disclosure of grand jury witnesses; SB 1232, increasing penalties for tower vandalism and copper theft; SB 1238, making domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor a felony on the first offense; and SB 1325, requiring GPS monitoring and victim-alert protections for certain domestic abuse defendants before release. All of those bills advanced, most on strong or unanimous votes, though SB 1458 and SB 1232 each had one nay. The committee also advanced SB 1209, which adjusted eviction-related civil procedure timelines by replacing “weekends” with Sundays and holidays in the filing-to-summons period, and SB 1362, which standardized early voting hours across the state’s consolidated election schedule, with Thursdays through Saturdays set at 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Wednesdays retained for general elections. Members asked about the effect on landlords, voters, rural counties, and staffing, and the authors said the changes were intended to improve consistency and give more time for payment or mediation. SB 2072, dealing with deed fraud and title theft, was amended to clarify that fee waivers apply to orders restoring title after a fraudulent conveyance, and then advanced unanimously. Later, the committee considered SB 1451, which adds a checkbox for prior voter registration, codifies cancellation of prior registrations, and requires an annual statistical report on registration notices; it advanced on a 6-2 vote after questions about whether the bill could burden voters. SB 1540 created a new felony offense for “grooming” a minor, prompting debate over whether existing indecent-proposal statutes already cover similar conduct; it advanced 7-1. SB 1581 extended the time for county grand jury initiative petitions from 45 to 90 days and added a protest period, and SB 1535 would adjust charity-enforcement procedures for the Attorney General; both advanced. The committee also advanced SB 1266, increasing penalties for violations of the anti-notario law, SB 1927, elevating unauthorized boarding or refusal to leave a school bus to a felony, SB 1460, strengthening penalties for repeat peeping Tom and clandestine recording offenses, and SB 2182, creating civil remedies for nonconsensual sharing of intimate images. SB 1618 was laid over, and the meeting adjourned with notice of another meeting the following week.

Summary: House Finance held public hearings on several tax-related bills. HB 2584 would create a sales and use tax exemption for qualifying farm machinery and equipment purchased by eligible farmers, with the sponsor and supporters saying it would help struggling agricultural producers, encourage investment in more efficient and environmentally beneficial equipment, and support rural economies. County representatives opposed extending the exemption to local sales taxes, warning that counties rely heavily on sales tax revenue and cannot absorb additional exemptions. HB 2376 would consolidate the state’s two school property tax levies into one, expand and simplify property tax relief for seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans, and change how disposable income is calculated for eligibility. Supporters, including county officials and assessors, said it would help people age in place and make the program easier to use, while opponents argued it would raise taxes for some property owners and expand the state school levy. The committee also heard HB 2610, which would broaden a property tax exemption for nonprofit homeownership development so temporary nonprofit or community uses would not jeopardize the exemption; supporters said it would help nonprofits manage land during long predevelopment periods. HB 2615 would codify the Department of Revenue’s voluntary disclosure agreement program and create a temporary tax amnesty period for certain B&O, public utility, and sales/use tax liabilities. The sponsor and several tax and business witnesses said it would bring taxpayers into compliance, generate revenue, and help small businesses correct honest mistakes, while questions were raised about eligibility language for businesses involved in criminal tax prosecutions. After the hearings, the committee moved into executive action and reported HB 2194, HB 2257, HB 2528, and HB 2175 out of committee with due pass recommendations, with recorded votes showing support from most members and opposition from a minority on HB 2194 and HB 2528. The chair announced that HB 2584, HB 2610, and HB 2615 would be scheduled for executive session the following day, with no amendments allowed.

Summary: The committee met on February 3 and considered several bills for possible executive session, with no public hearings. Members were told that House Bill 2538 would be heard later in the session, and no action was taken on House Bills 2422, 2427, or 2589 while amendments were still being worked on. The committee then reviewed House Bill 2438, which creates the Supporting Our Early Education Degree Seekers Scholarship for early childhood education students. A proposed substitute made the scholarship a yearly $10 million allocation from the GET account, capped administrative costs at $500,000, adjusted eligibility for students who already hold an associate degree, created a scholarship account, added a statute of limitations, and required notice to GET account holders. The substitute was adopted and the bill was reported out 13-4, with supporters emphasizing early childhood educator shortages and opponents raising concerns about moving funds from GET accounts. The committee also advanced House Bill 2525, establishing a heritage orchard program at Washington State University. A proposed substitute removed requirements related to preserving orchards and propagating rare apple breeds, and an amendment added a null and void clause; the bill passed 17-0. House Bill 2586, which automatically qualifies Passport to Careers students for the Washington College Grant and aligns financial-need calculations with federal formulas, also passed unanimously. House Bill 2458, expanding Washington College Grant eligibility to certain non-degree credential programs, was amended to require the Student Achievement Council and the College Board to propose a maximum award amount; it passed 11-6 after debate over fiscal impacts and support for trades and certificate programs. House Bill 2474, concerning student consumer protections when institutions or programs close, was amended to narrow exemptions for certain private institutions, including Independent Colleges of Washington and Northwest Indian College, and to clarify teach-out and reimbursement rules. Supporters said it would better protect students when schools change materially or close, while opponents argued the guardrails were too restrictive for institutions; it passed 9-8. Finally, House Bill 2540, extending recertification intervals for emergency medical technicians from every three years to every six years after 10 years of Washington certification, passed 17-0, with supporters saying it would reduce redundant training while maintaining standards.

Summary: The committee heard testimony on several bills. SB 5882 would extend workers’ compensation PTSD presumptions to local correctional facility workers after 90 days of employment; staff explained the current L&I rule, the bill’s rebuttable presumption, and estimated five-year claim costs of about $6.7 million to $15.3 million. The prime sponsor and supporters from labor, sheriffs/police chiefs, and injured-worker advocates said correctional work is highly traumatic and the bill would shift the burden of proof to employers. Opponents, including cities, retailers, and self-insurers, raised concerns about cost, system sustainability, and whether a presumption should be created without more study. L&I said the fund is currently healthy and clarified that PTSD can already be covered as a single-event injury, while occupational disease claims cover repeated exposure. The committee also heard SB 6196 on kratom taxation and regulation. The bill would impose a 95% tax starting in 2027, create licensing and labeling requirements, and direct revenue to youth harmful substance prevention. Supporters said kratom is unregulated, increasingly available to youth, and should be age-gated and more tightly controlled; some asked for a 21+ purchase age and stronger enforcement. Opponents from the food and retail industries argued the tax is too high and could hurt legitimate retailers, while the American Kratom Association said the bill goes beyond taxation and should instead focus on consumer-protection measures and banning concentrated synthetic products. The sponsor said the bill was prompted by concerns about youth access and unregulated sales. SB 6204 would authorize adults to grow up to six cannabis plants in a housing unit, with no more than 15 plants per premises, while creating penalties for violations and excluding family daycare homes and foster family homes. Supporters said home grow should have been included in legalization, would help consumers understand the plant, and could support small growers and equity goals. Opponents, including law enforcement, cities, public health, and substance-misuse groups, warned about youth access, home safety, enforcement difficulties, and possible impacts on the regulated market and tax revenue. LCB clarified it would not enforce home-grow rules, while local law enforcement would handle violations. The committee briefly heard SB 6134, which would require ESD to notify striking workers applying for unemployment benefits that retroactive wages may create an overpayment they must repay. The sponsor said the bill is meant to ensure workers understand repayment obligations if a strike settlement includes back pay; a Washington Policy Center witness supported it as a safeguard for workers and the UI trust fund. Finally, SB 6195 would reduce cannabis producer canopy tiers based on reported gross sales, with exemptions for extenuating circumstances. Proponents from the cannabis industry said the bill responds to chronic oversupply and would help stabilize the market, while opponents and some other stakeholders urged more flexibility, better traceability data, and protections for social equity entrants. No votes were taken in the transcript provided.

Summary: The Public Safety Committee met to consider several executive nominations and a series of bills. The committee advanced Joel Franks to the Polygraph Examiner Board, Julie Pittman to a full term on the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control Commission, and Justin Ferris to serve as Director of Corrections. Each nominee was introduced by a sponsoring senator, gave brief remarks, and was advanced on unanimous or near-unanimous roll calls. On legislation, the committee passed House Bill 4125, which would restore certain rights to nonviolent felons after completion of sentence and includes an expungement component; members focused heavily on whether the language could unintentionally allow firearm possession by people still on probation or deferred sentences, and the author said he would work with staff on clarifying language. House Bill 2951, as amended, renamed a correctional facility after Chief James Smith; House Bill 3082 barred sex offenders from serving as firefighters; and House Bill 4142 expanded the crime involving unlawful use of bombs or explosives to include conspiracy. All three advanced with little opposition. The committee also passed House Bill 4106, which lowers the grand larceny threshold by $100 and adds an escalator for repeated thefts, though the author struck the title to continue working with the Attorney General’s office on retail theft issues. Members debated whether the change conflicted with the voter-approved theft threshold and whether it would meaningfully deter crime. House Bill 1752 exempted the Attorney General’s Office and the District Attorneys Council from the OMES vehicle requisition process and passed unanimously. House Bill 3268 made knowingly displaying a false or fictitious license plate a felony; members questioned its scope, including whether it could affect temporary tags or other situations, and it passed on a 5-3 vote.
